This was the first Adobe product released to the general public for feedback during its development. This method was later used in developing Adobe Photoshop CS3. On June 26, 2006, Adobe announced that it had acquired the technology of Pixmantec, developers of the Rawshooter image processing software.^[18] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Lightroom#cite_note-18> Further beta releases followed. Notable releases included /Beta 3/ on July 18, 2006, which added support for Microsoft Windows <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows> systems. On September 25, 2006, /Beta 4/ was released, which saw the program merged into the Photoshop product range, followed by a minor update on October 19, which was released as /Beta 4.1/. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Lightroom> Frank Filippone BMWRed735i at gmail.com On 2/24/2023 6:23 PM, Wayne Torry via LUG wrote: > Thanks ARAM! > I?m not sure that will work for me.
